Update 2: With this wireless charger I've given up and returned to the the stock USB charger as it charges faster and no overheating. The wireless charger linked below proved to be too unstable and made me worry long term for my device due to overheating. Oh well, I still like the concept.

UPDATE 1: I have had one overheat occur in the week I've used the wireless charger. I'm keeping an eye on the situation.

Just want to put a good word in for the " 5V Qi Wireless Charger Transmitter Pad/Mat For Nokia Lumia920 LG

Nexus4 HTC 8X In International Edition I9300 N7100 US Plug Black". I've only had the N5 and this wireless charger for 4 days but it does not overheat despite frequently moving the N5 on/off the charger. The sounds and light are not obtrusive and has no issues charging my N5 in its Spigen Ultra Hybrid case. Finding the charging sweet spot is a breeze.

My only negative is that when a call comes in the N5 will vibrate right off the charger. I was going to incorporate the charger into a DIY dock so I'll address that small issue.

Hey guys,

I just got a N5 on t-mobile and I bought the Tech21 Impact bumper case.

Does anyone know how well the wireless charger works with this case on?
[Nexus 5 General] Enddo:
some say it will charge a little hotter with a case. and depending on how thick the case it. it could make it charge slower. it shouldn't be anything game breaking though
[Nexus 5 General] racer309:
works ok for me
[Nexus 5 General] Cactus42:
No problem with the Nexus 5, but the wife's Nexus 4 is very hit and miss with a case on, sometimes it won't charge at all until you take it off
[Nexus 5 General] Chad_Petree:
I have to say I'm dissapointed with my official nexus 5 wireless charger , I made a "test" I let the phone battery go down to 4% then charged it with the wireless charger, it took it 3:30 hours to charge it full :crying::crying: vs the stock charger 2:00-2:10 hours ; I knew there would be a difference but I didn't know it would be THAT big :eek:

Could someone confirm this? Maybe I have a defective one
[Nexus 5 General] ChazzMatt:
Works great. I have the same case, and various wireless chargers throughout the house.

Love the Tech21 case. Spigen clear hybrid is #2 favorite, but once the Tech21 went on, I've not wanted to change it out.

There's some basic physics involved here that you can't escape. First off, a 2300 mAh battery isn't going to charge in less than 2.3 hours with a 1000 mA charge rate. Period. Basic physics. Can't be violated.

Once you include losses, you're probably more around three hours. (Yeah, yeah, it's 5 V from USB and 3.8-4.2 V on the battery, but you're not talking 100% efficiency in the step-down, so it doesn't matter much if you're talking mA or mW per unit time.)

Second -- coupling through a non-wired connection isn't going to be as efficient as a wire. Period. Even with their 1500 or 2000 mA supplies, the current crop of wireless chargers end up charging at ~500-750 mA. Slower charge rate, slower charges -- by about 1.5 to 2 times longer.
[Nexus 5 General] Chad_Petree:
I could have sworn that it doesn't take the phone more than 2:10 to charge from 0 to 100% but you're right, you can't violate phsysics :laugh:, but I'm 110% sure that the phone has never needed more than 2:30 to go from 0% to 100%

The wireless charger is awesome when I'm home using my laptop the and using my phone in between, I use it then put it down , rinse & repeat , but it's terrible for example when I come home after classes to take a shower, get dressed and go out for a drink with some friends, by the time I'm ready to leave I only have 30% more battery :rolleyes::crying:

At least I know I purchased a quality charger with the Nokia DT910 and it will be here in less than a week.
[Nexus 5 General] sgp77:
In case it helps anyone else: I finally discovered it was from the app DynamicNotifications, specifically the setting that uses the proximity sensor to turn the display on when you have a notification and take the phone out of your pocket. After I disabled that, the problem went away. Nothing to do with wireless charging at all.
[Nexus 5 General] Yamifanatic:
Hey guys this may be a noob question but for the life of me I cant get my screen to turn on when I put my nexus 5 on my wcp300. Is there any easy way to fix this. I don't know if this helps but as of right now I only have my phone rooted and stock with no kernels or custom roms. Thank you
[Nexus 5 General] maidenboston:
maybe get xposed frameworks and install gravitybox module.

there are settings to power up screen upon charging..

Is your Zens charger still working good? I've been looking at getting one of those for a while for both my wife's and my N5.
[Nexus 5 General] NotFromMountainView:
I'm using one of the Korean/Chinese knock-offs of the N4 orb (in an attractive white with blue trim finish!) N5 is perfectly happy with it & I've never noticed any sort of heating. It's at my bedside and the phone sits on it every night & the phone is cucumber-cool in the morning. For daydream, clock/alarm clock/music play as I drift off I really like having the screen angled up & visible when I just roll over.

Two caveats: The 1a charger it shipped with was insufficient but replacement blocks are cheap & it works well with the original Nexus/LG brick. While it has charged through every case I have it hasn't held on to every case. If a case does much to round off the back, or add the wrong sort of texture I find it just can't hold onto the orb - this is not really a flaw, just a realistic limitation. Both the SlimArmor and UltraHybrid hold just fine in portrait mode, as does at least one Diztronic tpu -- the naked phone will stay firmly put even in landscape .

That's really nice, I wish I would have known about that before I got my Nokia charger.
[Nexus 5 General] Pizzalover83:
Bought this thing from eBay. Only used it once today but it seems to work fine as long as you have a 2a charger (which I already had from my nexus 7 2012). Gets a little warm but it's not too bad. I'll post battery monitor widget stats in a min.

Correction, the charger that comes with the nexus works fine too. I believe its a 1 or 1.2a charger.

---------- Post added at 10:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 PM ----------

Here are the battery stats. Gets about 5 to 9 degrees warmer than with a wire charger which doesn't concern me. I believe some of the heat comes from the charger itself.

Liking the look of this one. I need something that charges fast!
[Nexus 5 General] Pizzalover83:
It has the same 1a output as the cheap $11-$15 range ones do so it won't charge any faster. Not worth $50 in my opinion, but that's just me. ?
[Nexus 5 General] M3Rocket:
There's more to it than just the charging rate. This Niilkin Energy has a built-in kickstand and also seems to have multi-positional coils just like the almost twice as much TYLT Vu. The multi-positional coils are a very useful feature and makes alignment pretty much a non-issue. That is the bane of all the other kinds of Qi chargers. And the kickstand is especially useful for bedside/night mode use.

i am planning to buy a wireless chager and i have a technical question:

will the phone charge with a TPU silicon case on it or not???

Anyone know if the Nokia dt-900 will charge my n5 with the ringke fusion case on it? Edit: works flawlessly. Got my wireless charger from at&t for $25 bucks.
[Nexus 5 General] SWBgHz:
I use this charge and a Tilt charger with my N5 and both work well. I actually prefer the angle and footprint of the Nokia charger in some cases. However, I never use a case on my phones so not sure on that front.
[Nexus 5 General] NotFromMountainView:
I have 15 cases for my N5 and wireless charging has worked just fine with every one that I've tried. Based on this I'm going to say that no normal case should interfere with wireless charging. Period. ***Normal cases! No promises if you manage to find some boutique lead-lined case!

But, I have run into one case-related issue and it's unique to my charger: I'm using a generic version of the N4 orb (love it, small profile, nifty colour, and it angles the phone just perfectly for bedside use). The orb is designed to 'grip' the phone & hold it in place, and some cases just slide down the face of the orb. (Tylt & Nokia use a sort of ledge to hold the phone in place.) This is limiting, but my daily case is the Spigen SlimArmor which holds just fine (as do hybrid cases) with a bit of care I can even leave the phone charging horizontally. For cases more rounded, or with some texture I had to stick a book or some other 'stopper' to prevent slipping. Overall I'm really happy with the cheap Nexus knock-off & couldn't imagine having my phone flat on all night.
[Nexus 5 General] Evo_Shift:
Before I buy one are people with the Nexus orb chargers (or the generic version) using the black Nexus phone without slippage? I don't use a case. I have the Nexus 5 charger but don't want it flat next to my bed anymore. I want it angled.

I have seen people mention in this thread they are working fine but I know the white backs are different and would like confirmation from a black phone without a case.
[Nexus 5 General] NotFromMountainView:
Naked, my black N5 would stay in place - horizontal or vertical, through an earthquake on the generic orb. The orb uses magnets (very weak) + a grippy surface; without a case the magnets have an easier task, and the grappy/tacky surface loves the black back.
[Nexus 5 General] Rusty!:
The orb does not have any magnets.
[Nexus 5 General] joannn:
Even mine too. its normal, but still congrats !!
[Nexus 5 General] NotFromMountainView:
This generic orb claims to, but as I noted they appear to be very weak). Either way, even though the phone has some slight curve, the orb latches hold of it naked far more securely than it does when any of the cases are on, and that includes the perfectly flat & smooth hybrid or the flat but very slightly textured SlimArmor. Seems to be a mild assist from the claimed magnets but could be other factors.

Tangentially related, I use Agent to automatically silence notifications & most calls if the phone is charging any time after my usual bedtime.
[Nexus 5 General] Rusty!:
Ah, I missed the generic part, my bad. I assumed Nexus Orb :)
[Nexus 5 General] NotFromMountainView:
No problem! And you may be right -- I don't actually feel any magnetic pull, but it does seem to position itself in place ever so slightly, and it holds considerably tighter than it does with any cases. Maybe it's just the weight the cases add to the phone though.

Now, in case I've managed to add confusion: Naked black N5 clings firmly to the (generic) orb. In smooth, flat-backed cases such as SlimArmor & Hybrid it holds well, in highly textured or shaped cases it often needs help to remain in position. It does charge through every case I've tried, including the dual-wall, fairly thick SlimArmor.

Can an App protect your smartphone from scratches?

I have a wireless charger that I use for charging my Nexus 5. However, as the phone sits on the charger and I get a call, in case my phone is on either vibration or ring + vibrate mode, the phone makes this irritating noise due to vibrations. Once it even fell of the table and the center of gravity of the entire unit (phone + charger) is not that high and is not stable.

I was wondering if there was an automated way to stop the vibrations as soon as I put my phone on the charging mode. However, I looked for App in the Android store and could not find a single App that could do so.

Therefore, I went ahead to make an app for myself. An app that could suppress the vibrations on the phone when I put it on charging mode. I was primarily making it for wireless charging user when I realized that even users with normal chargers need such an App.

What is the basic idea behind the App?

How often do we realize that we left our phone on charging, while the phone was either on Vibration/ Ringer + Vibration mode, and typically the phone lies on a rough surface while it charges. During this state, if you receive a phone call, the phone keeps on vibrating of the surface and over time small scratches appear on your phone. In case you left the phone at the corner of the table, your phone may also fall while vibrating! The App works to protect your phone, by suppressing the vibrations while on charging mode. Your phone automatically switches to normal mode with vibration on as soon as you plug it out. The App continuously works in the background so that you do not have to remember to disable vibration all the time.

You can download the App on Google Play by searching for 'Scratch Protector' or Pluggdd.

I just got a PowerBot PB1020. It works as advertised but my phone reaches uncomfortable temps (43C) while charging.
[Nexus 5 General] NotFromMountainView:
Yep, Agent!

I set mine to silence all alerts/notifications, allow a handful of selected contacts to wake me if they call, and to let others wake me if they seem desperate enough to call me twice within 5 minutes. I set my rough sleep time (i.e. 3:00AM - 11:00 AM on Tuesdays) so the app activates only if it's receiving a charge at any point during those hours. Of course it resets to default settings as scheduled. If I don't go to bed till 5 AM everything stays audible until it touches the charger -- no further fiddling required.

It does a bunch of other things as well (the Battery Agent component actually does seem to be helpful,) but just Sleep Agent is well worth the (free) price! As you might guess, I really like this app.

Offhand I don't think there's an option to specify charging source - but their tech support team is very responsive & you could ask them if such an option would be possible.

Qi Chargers

Great Info on the LG Chargers... I have ordered the LG Car Mount that fits the WCP 300. I hope that holds what it promises.

Here in Europe it is hard to get the LG Orb which the Play store was selling for the Nexus 4. Sure, you could buy it for like 99$ thru Ebay from the states... yeah right.

I also ordered a "cheap" Chinese bootleg version of the WCP 300 and will let you guys know how it faires.

Has anyone tried the WCP 800? one can get it from Korea for like 90 bucks,

I would love the Tylt as well... but with the outrageous postage charges of 30€ I have a feeling they don't want to sell their product. Should someone get the chance to actually test the Tylt I would appreciate a quick review :)
[Nexus 5 General] Enddo:
i believe this is incorrect

im pretty sure this is correct

unless there's a lot of heat being generated, lithium poly batteries should be 'topped off' more than taking them to 0% in order to preserve battery life.

here is a good read about these types of batteries. take note that the fuel gauge in the N5 is different than what they're talking about in the article. its newer and shouldn't need this monthly recalibration
[Nexus 5 General] BoneXDA:
Depends on who you ask, but it's better not to give damage any chance, is it not?

While charging certainly stops upon reaching 100%, no mobile gadget has zero drain in standby, as a matter of fact 3-8% overnight is expected depending on connections and deep sleep pattern, and every time the phone loses a tiny amount of capacity, it recharges and this happens over and over again until you pull it off in the morning, at 100% of course. See your battery stats, charging bar does not stop upon reaching 100%, it is active all through the night. It's not very scientific but I guess it's enough for me not to leave it on the charger 33% of the phone's lifetime.

Here is some photo of the Nokia DT-900. So far it has been working well with my Nexus 5. It works well with or with or with out a case on the phone and the charger does not care what angle you place the phone at. I have not heard any weird noises coming from the charger. There is just one small dim led to let you know the phone is charging.
[Nexus 5 General] onthecouchagain:
I went with this: TYLT TYLT VU Qi Wireless Charger - Free Shipping at REI.com

A bit pricy but I went with that charger because it's got the versatility of keeping my devices (I have a Nexus 7 also) in landscape or portrait mode, can allow me to still see/use my phone while it's charging due to the angle, and after reading reviews of other wireless chargers, this one always came out on top in terms of finding the "right spot" to begin the charging -- I keep reading you have to keep adjusting it until you hit the "sweet spot" with other chargers and that's just something I don't want to have to worry about. The whole idea, to me, is you place the phone down and don't worry about it.

Not to mention, I like the design so it adds something to my desk, instead of just a mat.
